Fanfiction Friday #32

I'm really tired, so tonight's post won't have much flowery stuff. And I'm sorry for that. But I'll just be getting straight to the point.

My recommendation for this week is An Imperfect Dark Magic, which is a Snape/OC Romance fic, and rated T. I've been reading a lot of Snape/OCs lately, and I really like them. What I especially like in them is the creativity of the OC, and how awesome the stories usually are when the OC isn't a Mary Sue. The girl in this one has very much personality, including many flaws, so you won't be disappointed.

There's 18 chapters so far (and they're short chapters), and it's a WIP. The last update was a month ago, but I'm sure the author'll update soon.

I recommend this fic especially because it's very different than other Snape/OC stories, especially in that the girl isn't really one to 'bring him to the light side'. I've noticed that a lot of OCs are good and hardly have bad intentions, and that bothers me because I think the perfect girl for Snape would have a dark side, and a big one too.

Snape Quote of the Week #31

  "You wanted to see me, Headmistress?" said Snape, looking around at all the pairs of struggling students with an expression of complete indifference.
  "Ah, Professor Snape," said Umbridge, smiling widely and standing up again. "Yes, I would like another bottle of Veritaserum, as quick as you can, please."
  "You took my last bottle to interrogete Potter," he said, observing her coolly through his greasy curtains of black hair. "Surely you did not use it all? I told you that three drops would be sufficient."
  Umbridge flushed.
  "You can make some more, can't you?" she said, her voice becoming more sweetly girlish as it always did when she was furious.
  "Certainly," said Snape, his lip curling. "It takes a full moon cycle to mature, so I should have it ready for you in about a month."
  "A month?" squawked Umbridge, swelling toadishly. "A month? But I need it this evening, Snape! I have just found Potter using my fire to communicate with a person or persons unknown!"
  "Really?" said Snape, showing his first, faint sign of interest as he looked around at Harry. "Well, it doesn't surprise me. Potter has never shown much inclination to follow school rules."
  His cold, dark eyes were boring into Harry's, who met his gaze unflinchingly, concentrating hard on what he had seen in his dream, willing Snape to read it in his mind, to understand...
  "I wish to interrogate him!" shouted Umbridge angrily, and Snape looked away from Harry back into her furiously quivering face. "I wish you to provide me with a potion that will force him to tell the truth!"
  "I have already told you," said Snape smoothly, "that I have no further stocks of Veritaserum. Unless you wish to poison Potter--and I assure you I would have the greatest sympathy with you if you did--I cannot help you. The only trouble is that most venoms act too fast to give the victim much time for truth-telling...."
~Order of the Phoenix, Ch. 32 "Out of the Fire"

I love how, even in the most serious of situations, Snape can still make sarcastic remarks like that. If it weren't for the whole 'not wanting to get on Umbridge's bad side' thing, he'd have been pwning her the entire book. God, Umbridge, don't you know tha Veritaserum is rare? It's not like you can just order it like it's a toy that comes with a Happy Meal...

But he does really stick it to her several times here. It's scenes like this that, while I'm reading it, make me squee and want to kiss the page (which I'll do if I'm not reading in public). Snape is just the embodiment of badassery.

Snape Video of the Week #31

Like Snape

This is my favorite song from Potter Puppet Pals, though it ties with Mysterious Ticking Noise. It's not from any episode, but it was in Yule Ball 2007 (I think). And I didn't want to give you guys a stupid lyric video, so I found a good music video for it.

Just like Snape's button poem from 'Snape's Diary,' this song makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. It's just so accurate in both a funny and sad way. And what's especially sad/funny is the monologue that comes before it in Yule Ball 2007, which is: "Have you ever had a bad day? ...Have you ever felt depressed? Like the forces of the Universe were forging together with the sole purpose of making your life miserable? If you feel like that every day of your life, you must be like... Snape."

And then after the song, Harry and Ron attack Snape by repeatedly pushing him to the ground and going "Bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother bother!" Which, yet again, makes me both want to laugh and cry.

Weekly Snape-ly Event #31

I am very sorry to say that nothing significant has happened in the past week that has anything to do with Snape or Alan Rickman. So, this post is really for nothing, but I figured I ought to give you something. I have Snape news that involves me and mostly me.

If any of you care about RPG worlds, in FormerMiM, Snape is engaged to Professor Sinistra now. My character was distraught... And it led to her getting drunk, her friends trying to comfort her, and then her trying to get them to leave her alone. She hexed one of them and it led to the other girl getting badly hurt, so then she got revenge on my character, who ended up being Apparated to St. Mungo's by Snape. That's all that's happened so far.

And of course, you all know that I've ordered four Snape shirts. They haven't come in the mail yet, though.

This last bit isn't really news, but I suppose I can share it with you anyway. If you like my other Facebook page you might have seen this already. So, I was thinking about Snape in swim trunks, and that led to a fantasy about me and Snape swimming in the Hogwarts Lake, and naturally, that fantasy progressed to us snogging in the lake. But then, I figured that it would be hard to snog while swimming, so Snape or I would come up with the ingenious idea of putting a Bubble-Head Charm on both of us. And that got me thinking whether it's even possible to cast a single Bubble-Head Charm on two people... If it's not, it should be.

Snape Picture of the Week #31

I'm posting this picture neither for sexiness, sadness, hilarity, nor epicness--I'm posting it because it is just a perfect drawing of Snape. I mean, just the slightly creepy way he's smiling, and the look in his eyes, and the way he's folding his arms... Okay, so maybe it's sort of for sexiness. But that's because any picture of Snape is sexy by default.

So yeah, I'm sharing this for accuracy. And I suppose you could say it's so accurate that it's epic.

Oh--and obviously, I didn't draw it. I found it on DeviantArt, and I edited out some parts. It was supposed to be the cover for a Japanese Snarry fic, and so the title and subtitle really wouldn't make sense to you guys. But I just wanted to share the picture.

Snape Poem #3

Oh, Button

Button, oh button
Oh where hath thou fled?
Did thee tarry too long
Amongst fabric and thread?
Did thee roll off my bosom
And cease to exist?
How I wish I could follow thee
Into the mist...

I bet you guys were wondering when I would do this. Well, the answer to that would be a night where I've stayed up too long writing my fanfiction and doing homework, and had about an hour to find a poem and was so lazy that I just decided to use this. And that was tonight.

If you don't know what this is, this is Snape's button poem from the Snape's Diary episode of Potter Puppet Pals.

This poem actually makes me sort of sad. And I'm completely serious. One funny thing about it, though, is how Snape technically doesn't have any buttons in Canon. According to the books, he just wears robes--no frock coat or skin-tight suit with a million buttons... But I wish he did.

I hope Snape finds his button.

Fanfiction Friday #31

Thanks to Blogger's new layout, it now takes me about three less seconds to sign in... Sweet.

But anyway, today I have a fic that is very explicit. Normally, I really don't care on a moral level and I simply warn you to make sure your parents aren't home or to delete your browsing history after reading it, but this goes into real detail. Unless you are past the stage in life where you think sex is disgusting, you should probably just leave this post right now. And you definitely should not be reading this fic if you don't yet know the mechanics of sex... Then again, if you have uptight parents who are very squemish at the thought of giving you "the talk," then this would be a good fic to read.

Yes, it's a 'Snape teaches Sex Ed' fic. And it's called Severus Snape and the SexEd Snafu. And obviously, it's rated M. Personally, I love these kind of fics. I think we all want to know how they dealt with Sex Ed at Hogwarts, or if they had it at all, or if they just let the parents take care of it... Perhaps it's much less of a deal there, because anyone can brew a Contraceptive Potion, and they don't have to be prescribed, and I don't think STDs would be a problem, because they'll have potions for that too... But whether or not they actually have it, reading fics about it is hilarious, especially when Snape is involved.

This is honestly one of the most hilarious fics I've ever read. Snape is kept entirely in character, even when talking about sex... If you're mature enough and you're in the mood for a good laugh, read it.

Tha's right, now bow nice an' low... Al--alright, look! Buckbeak bowed back! Now you get ter pat his beak, and this link ter fanfiction! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/439510/1/Severus_Snape_and_the_SexEd_Snafu
